    Thinking about buying an On-One 456 of some vintage (it’s got v brake bosses) – anyone know what length fork it was designed for?

    Cheers

    umm, the clue’s in the name really. It was designed to run 4,5 or 6″ travel forks

    100Mm as xc
    125Mm as middle of the road
    150Mm as laid back fun

    My old 456 was great with 130 Revelations.

    Ok thanks – I had not made the connection. Rebas or short Revs it is then – anyone got a qr version of either (120/130/140) going cheap?

    A uturn Pike would be good too.

    Pike no good as I need a qr fork as I’ve only got qr wheels to go on it – this is a parts bin special for winter/carting kids about bike so trying to not buy too much where it can be helped

    Mine works great at 140mm travel.

    I use QR TALAS – 120 is nice for steep uphill, but I generally find 100mm to be twitchy & lowers the front end too much (for me).

    Rigid fork perhaps?

    Kona P2 29ers seem to work very nicely indeed. 8)

    Wow. I have a drawing here from 2007 which shows bolt on canti bosses. Don’t remember that at all!

    I ran mine with 130mm menja’s and it was great, with 150mm Z1’s it was brilliant, if a little tall and laid back but then they’re almost an inch taller than 150mm Rev’s. With that much travel you start cashing cheques the back end can’t handle, about 130mm seemed much more useable.

    I think mine’s an 08? Red one, the same as Nobby’s only not quite as clean!
    Couldn’t sell it, so currently rebuilding it as a cheap hack bike.
    I’m running rubbish Manitou Shermans on it, QR for the same reason as Speeder, but they were silly cheap on ebay.

    2005 vintage – has the holes, but came as a complete bike with BB7’s so I didn’t get the bolt-on bits to go in them!

    Can’t remember when I bought mine, 2005 or 2006 – but it’s got the bolt on boss mounts as above. Blimey, I’ve had that bike ages 🙂

    Is the older on one inbred the same geometry as the 456?
    I have an inbred with ve brake bosses and rigid on one fork for road stuff, and one of the first Lynskey Ti 456 frames for off road stuff. The 456 has a 140 talas on it. It climbs a bit better with it wound down at 120mm ish but its not terrible at 140 just a bit light on the front climbing. Great with 130 / 140 going down though! 🙂
    Had a steel 456 summer season too all a real hoot to ride.

    old 456 steely with 130 vans perfect!

    one i sold with custom paint
